For myself music definitely informs my emotions. And I can literally play a song that will get me where I need to be emotionally. I don't have to think about the tragic things that happened in my life or the greatest things that happened in my life.

I know people who are twice as creative as I am, twice as smart, but they didn't do anything because they feared going into a room and opening their mouths. My parents told me to truly accomplish things in my life, there would be times I would have to stand alone. It may be scary, but that's what it requires.

I don't have any regrets. If I could have talked to my 19- or 20-year-old self, I would have said, 'You're going to be fine. It ain't that serious!'

When I was growing up, there were so many musicals you could watch. I like the fantasy of musicals and I love music.

I'm not the type that's going to sit and preach to people if they don't need it just because I've been around the block a few times.

Lets be clear, Dolly Parton is a rapper. Somewhere before all the country, I don't know what happens up there in the mountains when you're growing up, but she has been spitting rhymes for a very long time - 50 years I'd say.

The good thing about movies is that they're subjective. You can connect to different themes depending on your own perspective.

Church was a requirement, there was no choice in the matter, so was vacation bible school. Gospel has been in me since I was a kid.

[Hiking] is not that crazy, but when you look back and you see that mountain you just climbed, you say, I can't believe I did that.

Sometimes I pray when I really feel like I need God to help me with something, and sometimes we just have conversations. We just kick it.

I enjoy going to work and having a good time. It's tough when you got to work with people who just are in a bad mood all the damn time.
